Diversity owns, haters vacate.

So from binging on Twilight Zone there has been one episode that featured black protagonists. I'm on S3 now and the last time I saw a black person was a wax statue of an African....tribal figure with a spear.

The 60's were something.

The all-black principal cast was a novelty for television in 1960. Said Rod Serling at the time (quoted in The Twilight Zone Companion by Marc Scott Zicree):

Television, like its big sister, the motion picture, has been guilty of the sin of omission... Hungry for talent, desperate for the so-called 'new face,' constantly searching for a transfusion of new blood, it has overlooked a source of wondrous talent that resides under its nose. This is the Negro actor.

A few other Twilight Zones would follow the example of this episode and cast blacks in significant roles, including the pastor in "I Am the Night—Color Me Black", with Ivan Dixon, and the electrician in "The Brain Center at Whipple's". These inclusions, though seemingly insignificant by modern standards, were so revolutionary at the time that The Twilight Zone was awarded the Unity Award for Outstanding Contributions to Better Race Relations in 1961.

Originally cast in the lead role was champion boxer Archie Moore, who would later exclaim, "Man, I was in the Twilight Zone!" when describing the knockout punch delivered by his opponent Yvon Durelle in a 1961 match.

they supposedly got lots of hate mail for "He's Alive" aired a week or two after George Wallace became governor of Alabama where dennis hopper played an aspiring neo-nazi demagogue secretly receiving orders from *gasp* Hitler's ghost! Some people did not take too kindly to the closing monologue

Was it caused by an infection or something? I don't know a ton about kidney disease but yeah that's weird.

Supposedly it was some disease but I forgot the name of it.

What's especially weird is about 6 months in he gave up on the renal diet and it really didn't make a difference.

(After looking into it I guess kidney disease does actually get better on its own sometimes, and stage 4 isn't actually total failure, that's stage 5)

He had something like 10% function left and they said they were so scared they were basically shot.

Although the entire thing never made sense to the doctors because at stage 4 people are delirious from either sickness or pain meds but he seemed as healthy and energetic as he ever was. :iiam:
